Ghostkiller, I don't understand what any of the things you wrote have anything to do with the tweet I posted, sorry. Not sure what you were getting at? I get the impression you assumed I posted it to make the Ka-52 look bad? If that was your thought, that is not even close to my intentions. I hope that's not what you thought.
I posted it because I thought it was fascinating to see such a malfunction that I -- and probably everyone on here -- had never seen before. An attack helo vibrating like that is very strange and it does also happen to be the Ka-52 but it's the Katran naval version which has some differences from the attack version that Egypt has. One of the main differences is the folding rotors but it also has folding wings, which could've also contributed to such a malfunction. The point is we always like to discuss these technical issues, regardless if they are bad ones or good ones, or if they belong to Russian, French, German or American.
@The SC also posted this pic below of a Katran way back in this thread that had shot through its own fuselage with its main 30 mm gun. That was no knock on the aircraft. Instead it was a point being made that Kamov needed to fix that problem with the gun turning too far into the fuselage with a stop bracket or something to prevent that from happening again, and especially before they started building the 50 helicopters for Egypt.

So it's only constructive criticism, which I have always done. I never look only at the positive things and ignore the drawbacks since that won't complete one's understanding of all aspects of any platform.
LOL, bruh! The whole discussion was specifically referring to the mysterious object flying over right before the explosion and what it could be. Did you miss that? Take a look again, see what you think.
Indeed, totally agree.
Let's hope the US tries to manipulate Egypt into taking a half-*** F-15 and attempt a strong hand so we can see Sisi and the EAF show some oomf and tell the US to kick rocks, then go with the Su-35SE with the huge compliment of weapons despite the IRBIS-E radar. Hopefully they can make Sukhoi change the damn thing to the
N036-1-01 X-band AESA radar that's going in the Su-57. At the moment they actually have 4 production Su-57s on top of the 10 prototypes. So production is somewhat getting going which means the radar is ready and should be interchangeable with the Su-35SE. Then we should be able to think that despite how great SPECTRA and jamming systems are in the Rafale, an AESA radar will be much more difficult to jam than the PESA IRBIS-E. A much better option for the EAF.
But I'm telling you, Russia also plays an absolute hand to the Jews with regards to weapons. Guaranteed why we haven't seen the R-27 and we might never see the R-77-1, or the K-77 let alone the R37! Something tells me they're going to hold back on those munitions because of the Jews crying about them.
Even with the Rafales; despite rumors of the Meteor being included in the last contract of the 30 fighters, I bet you France will not allow that missile. Just like Russia, they will only go so far.
Also, did you know that despite the CISMOA being signed, it hasn't actually been activated? In other words, it hasn't been implemented or put into law or treaty between the two nations. I bet you this is intentional on the part of the US to avert having to be compliant with the terms that would work against it, such as providing advanced weapons! What a sick world where all these games are being played and who ends up with the shaft at the end?
Just kidding.
